Untitled[edit]

umm... list of placenames over 20 letters long doesn't fit into the etymology section as etymology deals with the "origin of words".

Also the link is already present in the "Other lists of places" section. Jay 16:10, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have removed the link for you. In future, you can make changes like that yourself. The rule is to be bold. :-) — Timwi 16:27, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Not my style :) Boldness is not a rule either. "One person's improvement is another's desecration, and nobody likes to see their work just flushed without warning." (Wikipedia:Editing_policy) Jay 18:40, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I added "List of short place names" and "List of long place names" into the Other lists of places section. --Love Krittaya (talk) 22:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

incomplete list[edit]

One example is Canada Sorry let me reword that I meant Canada was not included yet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.101.160.189 (talk • contribs)

You can create a List of places in Canada and include that in the list. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 17:53, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
